The following is quoted from the voice of Taoism:
Jinmen Wang Yao Temple is located in the east of Li Quan Village, wang kou zhen, Jinghai County, Tianjin, and is commonly known as "Li Quan Temple" locally. Sun Simiao, the grateful medicine king in the village, was founded in Li Quan Village during the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty to help the surrounding people. It has a history of 1200 years, and is known as the first temple in western Tianjin.
Wang Yao Temple in Kinmen has a long history and has been repaired in all dynasties. According to local records, Wang Yao Temple was expanded in Zhengde in Ming Dynasty and renovated again in Jiaqing period of Qing Dynasty. After the founding of New China, Wang Yao Temple continued to burn incense, but due to historical reasons, Wang Yao Temple was demolished in 1957, and the wood was used to build Jinghai County Auditorium. Although the temple was destroyed, local believers still burned incense and prayed at the original temple site.
After the reform and opening up, incense has revived. 1994, with the support of Jinghai county government, believers voluntarily donated money to rebuild the main hall and two wings of Wang Yao Temple, and rebuilt the Buddha statue. The main hall is dedicated to Sun Simiao, a famous doctor in Jinyuan and Liu Shouzhen, a famous doctor in China, accompanied by ten famous doctors on each side. In addition, four parts of the hall are dedicated to Doum Yuan Jun, a 60-year-old god, an emperor with three officials, an emperor in Wenchang, a god of wealth in Wu and an emperor.
Since 20 13, under the care of Zhang Jiyu, vice president of Chinese Taoist Association, and with the strong support of Tianjin Religious Affairs Bureau and Jinghai County Government's Religious Affairs Office, Wang Yao Temple has hired regular Taoist teachers to live permanently, learn and publicize Taoist traditional culture, and held traditional temple fair activities in 20 14, and launched charitable activities to show condolences to the elderly, which has been recognized by local government departments.
It is a traditional temple fair of Wang Yao Temple in Jinmen from the first day to the fifth day of the fourth lunar month every year. During the temple fair, thousands of believers from Jinghai County, Tianjin, Wen 'an County, Langfang City, Hebei Province and Bali, Dacheng County came to worship the real people Sun Simiao and Liu Hejian, burning incense and praying. At 1 1 p.m. the night before the first day of junior high school, the monks in Wang Yao Temple opened their doors to welcome guests, held a Taoist fasting ceremony, read the immortal scriptures, preached a model of science and technology, bells and drums were ringing, music was everywhere on the road, cigarettes were everywhere, and crowds flocked.
The villagers in Bengzhuang Village and Li Quan Village, wang kou zhen, Jinghai County, where the Golden Gate Yaowang Temple is located, are even more like Chinese New Year. Every family prepares all kinds of food and drinks to receive relatives and friends who have attended the temple fair. Daughters who go out to work and get married in the village will go home to pay New Year greetings and visit relatives and friends during the temple fair. The whole village is more lively than the Spring Festival. In the open space around Wang Yao Temple, various children's amusement parks have been set up temporarily, with stages, tents and booths, performing traditional dramas, circus and acrobatics, and dealing in various traditional Tianjin handicrafts, food and daily necessities. More than 100 folk flowers in Jinghai, Wen 'an, Dacheng and other places were staged together, and the drum music was deafening, end to end, stretching for more than 3 kilometers. The quiet rural wilderness has suddenly become a busy and prosperous large-scale.
